- 4Describe the relationship between price and quantity demanded on a demand curve.The relationship between price and quantity demanded is negative or inverse because a rise in price should in theory result in a fall in demand.
- 5How does consumer income affect demand?Depending on how much the consumer earns can affect the level of demand. The consumer's income may rise due to a pay rise or a new position with a higher level of pay, and so they are able to buy more.
- 6What effect does a rise in income have on a normal good?Normal goods have a positive relationship with income. A rise in the income of a consumer should in theory result in an increase in the demand for normal goods and services, and the demand curve will shift to the right.

- 12How is the demand for a good or service affected by the price of its substitutes?A fall in the price of one good will increase it's demand, and as a result cause a fall in the demand for a substitute good. Therefore, the relationship between substitute goods is a positive one - as the price for one falls, the demand for the other falls.
- 13How is the demand for a good or service affected by the price of its complementary goods?A fall in the price of one good will increase it's demand, and therefore the demand for the complementary good should also rise. The relation between complementary goods is therefore negative - as the price of one good falls, the demand for the other increases.
- 14Give 2 examples of the negative relationship between complements?If the price for PlayStation 4's fell, the demand for it's video games and accessories will also increase.

Therefore, the use of credit shifts the demand curve to the right.
- 16How can legislation decrease consumer demand?Legislation is the act of government intervention, which causes demand to shift to the left as demand decreases. Acts of legislation include having a minimum age on consumer consumption, or limiting the consumption of a good by banning it from certain places.
